As I mentioned yesterday, today’s clip features my Mom making a lite as well as delicious Key Lime Pie. I joked inwards the post that it’s an quondam trouble solid unit of measurement tradition to brand pie earlier going to the infirmary for surgery, well, to live on honest it’s non actually an quondam tradition, she merely wanted to brand pie. Besides it beats sitting around worrying well-nigh getting a novel shoulder! This is a longer clip than I unremarkably do, as well as I may eventually divide the exhibit into two recipes; ane for her flaky pie crust, as well as some other for the filling as well as finished pie. But for directly you lot acquire the consummate Director's Cut.

I’ve gotten many emails well-nigh how to brand a overnice pie or tart crust as well as I’ve e'er answered them alongside “sorry, that non actually my thing.” Well, you lot are all inwards luck. My Mother, as well as Aunt Angela, are known around these parts for their dandy pies, as well as brand an incredibly flaky, as well as easy, pie dough. Many Chefs volition say you lot to allow the dough balance inwards the refrigerator hence that the flour tin hydrate, as well as the crust volition live on fifty-fifty flakier. When I asked my woman nurture if she was going to allow hers rest, she said “No, I learned this dough recipe a long fourth dimension agone as well as I’m non going to modify it.” So that was that.

If you lot don’t desire to add together nutrient coloring to give yours that lovely lime color, as well as then don’t. But, these days nutrient colorings are made from vegetable dyes as well as are completely harmless. You decide, but I don’t desire a yellowish Key Lime Pie. And piece we’re faking things, regular limes are fine if you lot can’t acquire Key limes. Enjoy!
